While attending the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday on behalf of the Breaking Bad cast, the 34-year-old admitted to The Sun that he was on the look out for a new role, saying: "I'm trying to get a job, man. I'm out of work. If you know anybody…"

But when asked about whether he would work on a soap opera, Aaron excitedly replied: "EastEnders? I’ve seen it. Oh my God, I’d love a part. Let's do that."

With the endlessly gloomy atmosphere on EastEnders, we doubt Aaron would have a problem blending in to the cast – although he may have to attend East End elocution lessons.

The Need For Speed actor said: "I don’t know why I gravitate towards the darker side of things but it makes me feel crazy emotions. I like it."

Breaking Bad was no stranger to tragic deaths and shocking turns of events, so we think Aaron would take to the Lucy Beale whodunnit storyline like a duck to water.

The star, who played student turned drug dealer Jesse Pinkman on the critically-acclaimed drama, is a huge fan of the UK, and sparked hopes that he may shack up with his wife Lauren Parsekian here while saying: "I would love to have a place here."

We're sure Ellie Goulding would be more than happy to help the couple house-hunt – the Burn songstress has been the American actor's BFF since Aaron jokingly asked her to sing at his wedding.
